    WORDS SPOKEN AND WRITTEN

    Spoken to written (Dictation):
    Sometimes, the sounds for words do not indicate the typical organization of its relevant letters. Therefore, when we have to compose the letters for a particular word following its sound, we should be aware of some frequently used letter patterns for words.
    Ex: bus (not ‘bas’)
    news (not ‘niws’)

    Written to spoken (Elocution / Pronunciation):
    Likewise, a written word may not have a sound as its letters apparently indicate. Hence, those points should also be learnt by a beginner up to a certain extend.
    Ex: business (sounds as ‘bisnas’)
    though
    enough

    The sound “r” is almost always kept silent
    Car, Bar
    And, the sound ‘s’ appears in almost all the words in English

    The pronunciation of the letter ‘f’ is not as in our language pattern. And, occasionally, the letter ‘p’ also has similar pronunciation types similar to that of ‘f’

    It can be found these sorts of aspects in other languages too. For instance;
    In Sinhala, the sound ‘n’ is numerous
    In Tamil, the sound ‘d’ is common
    In Hindi, the sound ‘r’, ‘cha’ are frequent

    CLASSIFICATION OF WORDS
    Every word in English language must belong to one of the following words categories?????.
    1. Noun
    2. Article
    3. Adjective
    4. Verb
    5. Adverb
    6. Preposition
    7. Conjunction
    Let’s have a brief introduction to each of them.

    NOUNS:
    The words used to introduce something (person, animal, place, object, activity, state, quality, feeling etc). In general, nouns can be recognized as the names.
    Ex:
    Person (teacher/grandma/chef/dancer/student/doctor/Nimal/I, you, he, she, it, they, we, it)
    Animal (cat/dog)
    Place (cabin/church/kitchen/beach/city/school)

    Activities (movement/judgment/flying/cutting/playing/shutting)
    States (childhood/boyhood)
    Qualities & Feelings (kindness/bravery/obedience/love/beauty/industry/greed/pain)

    ARTICLES
    Applicable for nouns only
    ‘a’, ‘an’, & ‘the’
    a / an / the + noun/s
    ‘a’ and ‘an’: indefinite articles (only with singular nouns / ‘an’ is used when the particular noun
    begins with a vowel sound)
    ‘the’ : definite article (The pronunciations becomes “di” in case the particular noun begins with
    a vowel sound)
    These words are used to signify the definiteness/assuredness of a noun
    Ex:

    a/an
    Boy – a boy (“lamayek”)
    Table - a table
    Kite – a kite
    Ant – an ant
    Elephant – an elephant
    Orange – an orange
    Hotel – an hotel
    The
    That is a box (first address)
    The box is red (second address)
    A boy – the boy (“lamaya”)
    A flower – the flower
    An elephant – the elephant
    An enemy – the enemy
    The unicorn (“da”)
    The European (“da”)

    Uniform – a uniform
    European – a European
    University – a university


    ADJECTIVES
    Adjective + noun
    Applicable for nouns only
    An adjective is a word that qualifies a noun. Certainly, an adjective is used to describe a noun comprehensively
    Appears always before the noun
    Answers the question what kind of….
    Ex:

    Tall, beautiful, handsome
    Tall boys / Beautiful girl
    This, that, these, those
    This book
    These hoppers
    That boy
    Those robbers
    My, our, its, his, her
    My house
    Its hump (Camel’s hump)
    Our society
    My eyes


    VERBS
    These words generally show actions
    Every sentence must have a verb
    Verb follows the subject of a declarative sentence
    Ex:

    Am/is/are/was/were
    Do/does/did
    Has/have
    Drink
    Bark
    Bring
    Chide (rebuke)
    Cleave (v/adj.) (slice/cut/chop)
    Feed
    Gild (cover with gold/make golden/paint with gold)
    Withdraw (leave/depart)
    Withstand (resist)

    ADVERBS
    Verb + adverb (compare: adjective + noun)
    The words that modify the verbs are called ‘adverbs’.
    An adverb answers the question ‘how’
    Ex:
    review carefully
    behave badly
    say (the truth) soon

    PREPOSITIONS
    The words which are used for??????????

    CONJUNCTIONS
    The words that connect words, phrases and sentences are called ‘Conjunctions’.
    Many conjunctions have more than one particular meaning (my words)
    Ex:
    And; our country and the nation (“ape rata saha jathiya”)
    Or; tomorrow or day after tomorrow
    Before; before rain falls
